Sparklers : Don't go changing / overworking



The last Sparklers one from my vaults, the brilliant Don't go changing. This ends my posts on the Melanie Oxley / Chris Abrahams combination.

Flipside is Overworking. I understand that one was issued earlier as a single as well but I don't have it.

Sparklers : Persuasion



Well, this must be one of the most ugly LP covers - very eighties I suppose.

A1 Heart and Soul
A2 How Have You Managed
A3 Curiosity
A4 Persuasion
A5 Physical Game
A6 Sweet Love
B1 Truck
B2 I Want You to Know
B3 Money Honey
B4 White Pain
B5 Growing Tree
B6 Don't Go Changing

Though sound quality is good for my ears, please note that I blew up the track incrementing when transferring it from my vinyl. For instance, track B2 is split over files 8 and 9. So if you transfer this to a cd, I advise you to have no pauses inbetween tracks.

Apparently this has also been issued on cd with two non album bonus tracks (can be found on the singles I uploaded before and one final single from my collection is yet to come next week). If anyone has it, I would be very grateful if he or she could upload that one.

Too hot to move / On the street where U live


With temperatures over 30°C it's too hot to move too hot to think (in Belgium).

Sweet and Sour was an Australian television series which screened on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in 1984. It was created by Tim Gooding and Johanna Pigott and was produced internally for the ABC by Jan Chapman.

The main storyline of the series followed the efforts of a fictional band, The Takeaways, to break into the Sydney music scene. Numerous Australian and New Zealand musicians and songwriters were involved in this TV series, i.a. David McComb !!!

What you get here are the The Takeaways versions of On the street where U live and Too hot to move, from the 1984 sweet and sour album.
